Psychologie der Eigensicherung

What does "psychological self-protection" mean?

The established standard work on psychological self-protection deals comprehensively with survivability. This ability makes it possible to avoid, cope with or survive dangers. It results from various knowledge, skills, but also inner attitudes and thus has a strong psychological component. The author shows that mastering martial arts alone does not always help against attackers. Rather, psychological factors also play an important role.

Survival skills can be learned

Based on incidents from police practice as well as taking into account scientific findings, the guide vividly conveys how to cope with dangerous situations while avoiding injuries and increasing one's chances of survival by paying attention to psychological factors. The author conveys a realistic optimism to the readers: even in dangerous situations, you have more chances than you think.

Hints, tips and exercises for training self-protection complete the presentation.
